In Dr. Waisbren’s book, Treatment of Chronic Lyme Disease, the majority of his 51 cases of chronic Lyme had high EBV titers. He also states,

“As will be seen in other cases, the Epstein-Barr virus may be a candidate for a co-infection associated with LD.”

Waisbren often treated this co-infected patients that had EBV with 1000mg of Valtrex three times a day with good success. He also used gamma globulin (4cc twice a week).

I think this is another great example of proclaiming something is rare when little research has been done. Until Lyme patients are routinely tested for GB, I think it unwise to assume a connection is rare. Researchers need to tread carefully in all things related to TBI’s, understanding that their words have been used against patients for decades.
